Stratum experiment

[Pyrollo]

I got bored quite quickly with ore distribution so I started playing with map generation.

I got some funny screenshot with early stage of development (it more like a proof of concept than any other thing).

Stratums structre so far :


Stratums in mountains view :

Huh... that's really cool!

Looks very good, and seems to model geological strata quite well. Have you pushed the source somewhere?

Not yet, but I plan to do it so.

The result will be quite different. I want to acheive something like stacked mines of minerals. Not sure to keep that geological aspect at the end.

I would love to see more geology aspect in it.

I'm also interested in the code :)

[csirolli]

Have you been able to go further with this?

Does this use the new 'stratum' ore type i added to the Ores API?

[Pyrollo]

Sorry I did not had time to post a working code (after that orginal post, I worked a bit on it... the result was a total mess).

No it does not uses the stratum type.

I used a stack of 2D noise maps, and divied the space between each map into 10 stratums. In each stratum, a material. That's the concept.

But there are still many things to improve and optimise.

How would you make it with stratum, paramat? I still suck at perlin noise. :(

[paramat]

It would be done a little like this https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game/pull/2109 but with tuned values.

Thank you, will check that out.
